YELLOWSTONE  NATIONAL  PARK 


Geyserland 

Formed  by  fire  and  finished  by  ice,  wind,  and  water,  is  perhaps  a  summary  of 
the  geologic  story  of  Yellowstone  Park.  Great  volcanoes,  forgotten  by  all  except 
the  scientists,  fashioned  the  foundations  of  the  landscape  visible  today;  immense 
glaciers  carved  and  polished  canyon  and  mountain  slope;  wind  and  water  perfected 
the  infinitely  varied  sculpture  of  gorge,  peak,  and  precipice. 

Then  the  softer  moods  of  Nature  prevailed.  She  provided  majestic  rivers  and 
far-reaching  lakes,  spread  vast  evergreen  forests  over  her  original  handiwork, 
patterned  the  open  spaces  with  lovely  wild  flower  gardens.  She  gave  this  domain  to 
bear,  buffalo,  and  beaver,  elk  and  antelope,  moose  and  deer;  to  eagle,  waterfowl, 
lark,  thrush,  and  warbler;  and  to  the  finny  tribes  of  lake  and  stream. 

What  distinguishes  Yellowstone  is  the  existing  evidence  of  those  original 
mysterious  and  magnificent  processes  of  the  Park's  creation.  The  visitor  walks 
through  the  looking  glass  into  a  wonderland  where  incredible  things  happen. 
Astonishment  becomes  a  constant  emotion. 

Although  there  is  no  sign  of  life  about  the  ancient  volcanoes,  the  earth  hisses 
from  a  thousand  vents,  stretching,  perhaps,  from  the  subterranean  fire.  Great 
fountains  of  water  and  steam  soar  gracefully  into  the  air,  some  regularly,  others 
at  unforeseen  times.  Numberless  pools  murmur  and  boil;  the  minute  hot-water 
inhabitants  of  some  have  painted  their  bowls  with  the  exquisite  colors  of  sapphire, 
emerald,  and  morning-glory;  others  have  erected  terraces  and  enameled  basins  of 
surpassing  richness  or  have  thrust  their  steaming  cones  through  the  icy  waters 
of  a  lake.  Here,  a  mass  of  plastic  clay,  pink  and  cream,  pouts  and  sputters;  there, 
stands  a  cliff  of  glass,  a  mountain  of  sulphur.  On  yonder  mountain  side  are  the 
petrified  remains  of  a  prehistoric  forest  now  composed  of  agate,  carnelian,  jasper, 
chrysoprase,  and  amethyst.  A  great  river  plunges  with  thunder  and  mist  hundreds 
of  feet  into  a  stupendous  canyon  cut  through  twelve  hundred  feet  of  prismatic 
pigments,  glowing  with  a  harmony  of  color  that  no  man  has  successfully  de- 
scribed. 

Yellowstone  is  vast,  wild,  unspoiled,  a  masterpiece  of  the  primitive  set  aside 
in  the  fastnesses  of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  It  has  lofty  peaks,  immense  lakes, 
majestic  rivers,  wild  flowers  in  profusion,  forests  living  and  fossil,  glaciers  at  its 
borders — all,  in  fact,  that  other  parks  contain — and  in  addition,  the  matchless 
canyon  and  the  amazing  geysers. 

You  start  one  cool  bright  morning  along  a  smooth  road  through  the  fragrant 
pine  forests.  Steam  rises  ahead  and  a  turn  discloses  a  small  geyser  spouting — 
the  first  you  have  ever  seen.  But  at  the  same  moment  a  mother  bear,  followed 
by  her  cubs,  walks  through  a  glade  and  when  you  have  lost  sight  of  them  the 
geyser  is  quiet.  Now  the  automobile  has  stopped  beside  a  weird  group  of  "paint 
pots"  or  has  paused  at  a  beautiful  hot  spring.  Another  geyser  gushes  unexpect- 
edly from  the  riverside,  a  boiling  spring  emits  a  cavernous  rumble,  steam  vents 
puff  and  hiss.  The  white  crest  of  a  distant  peak  appears,  you  glimpse  a  lacy  water- 
fall, or  the  rippled  ultramarine  of  a  half-hidden  lake;  a  deer  bounds  across  the 
highway.  On  another  day  you  are  motoring  along  the  rim  of  the  most  gorgeous 
of  all  gorges,  lost  in  delighted  wonder.  Then  the  automobile,  passing  acres  of  rich 
wild  flower  gardens,  climbs  to  the  crest  of  Mt.  Washburn,  whence  noble  pano- 
ramas of  the  Rockies  stretch  away  in  every  direction  and  the  Park  becomes  a 
titanic  relief  map. 

These  are  random  features  of  the  wonders  that  a  tour  of  Yellowstone  Park 
unfolds — scenes  that  intrepid  explorers  not  so  long  ago  faced  hardship  and  danger 
to  behold.  You  may  see  them  in  complete  comfort,  unspoiled,  unchanged.

Yellowstone  National  Park 

General  Description 

Yellowstone  is  the  largest  and  probably  the  most  famous  of  our  national  parks. 
There  is  no  other  region  like  it.  In  the  variety  and  power  of  its  geysers,  in  the 
diversity  of  its  wonders,  it  has  no  rival.  The  Park,  second  in  historical  rank,  was 
created  by  act  of  Congress,  in  1872,  for  the  perpetual  enjoyment  of  the  people. 
Uncle  Sam  has  made  it  convenient  and  comfortable  for  all  who  wish  to  come. 

Yellowstone  National  Park  is  situated  in  northwestern  Wyoming  and  extends 
slightly  into  Idaho  and  Montana.  It  is  about  62  miles  long  and  54  miles  wide, 
and  has  an  area  of  3,348  square  miles.  Its  general  physical  character  is  that  of  a 
broad,  volcanic  plateau  with  an  average  elevation  of  8,000  feet,  and  surrounded  by 
mountain  ranges  rising  from  2,000  to  4,000  feet  higher. 

In  Yellowstone  Park  there  are  approximately  100  geysers,  more  than  in  all  the 
rest  of  the  world.  The  very  earth  puffs,  steams  and  hisses  in  the  geyser  basins  as  if  a 
thousand  underground  factories  were  at  work.  There  are  some  4,000  hot  and 
boiling  springs,  and  many  cold  springs,  some  of  them  flowing  Apollinaris  and 
other  mineral  waters.  There  are  prismatic  pools  with  the  exquisite  beauty  of 
flawless  gems  and  flowers.  Multi-colored  "paint-pots"  of  plastic  clay  bubble  and 
seethe.  Gruesome  mud  volcanoes  churn  and  roar  harmlessly.  There  are  tinted, 
fretted  terraces  resembling  the  fancied  architecture  of  fairyland. 

But  Yellowstone  must  not  be  associated  only  with  geysers  and  other  hot 
water  phenomena.  Without  the  geysers,  Yellowstone  would  remain  a  region  of 
transcendent  beauty.  The  gorgeous  canyon,  painted  more  gloriously  than  any 
other  gorge  on  earth,  is  a  spectacle  so  sublime  that  it  alone  would  draw  thousands 
of  visitors.  At  its  head  a  waterfall  of  great  height  and  wonderful  symmetry  leaps 
from  the  evergreen  hills  and  is  lost  in  its  own  cloud  of  swirling  spray.  Castellated 
crags  and  lofty  spires  rise  from  slopes  presenting  all  the  tones  of  yellow,  orange,  red, 
and  white.  There  are  petrified  forests,  the  trunks  standing  where  they  grew; 
there  is  a  cliff  of  obsidian  (volcanic  glass)  and  a  natural  bridge. 

The  setting  of  these  wonders  is  a  land  of  vast  evergreen  forests,  immense 
lakes,  noble  rivers,  and  majestic  peaks.  The  rugged  Absaroka  Range  stands  upon 
the  eastern  boundary  and  the  stately  Gallatins  guard  the  northwest.  The  drive 
over  the  summit  of  Mt.  Washburn  is  one  of  the  most  inspiring  mountain  trips  that 
can  be  made  by  automobile.  The  great  tributaries  of  the  Missouri  River  and  the 
Snake  have  their  sources  within  or  near  the  Park.  Yellowstone  Lake,  nearly  8,000 
feet  in  elevation,  and  its  largest  body  of  water,  has  an  area  of  139  square  miles. 

This  primeval  wilderness  is  the  largest  and  most  successful  wild  animal  refuge 
on  earth.  As  an  easily  accessible  field  for  varied  nature  study  it  has  no  equal. 
Bear,  deer,  elk,  antelope,  and  many  lesser  animals  may  be  seen  with  little  effort, 
and  those  who  travel  the  trails  may  see  moose,  bisons,  and  mountain  sheep.  There 
are  200  species  of  birds  in  the  Park;  eagles  nest  upon  the  crags.  Most  of  the  streams 
and  lakes  abound  in  trout  and  the  Madison  River  also  contains  grayling. 

Through  the  forests,  in  the  open  meadows,  and  particularly  upon  the  slopes  of 
Mt.  Washburn,  are  lovely  gardens  of  wild  flowers. 

There  are  four  great  resort  hotels  in  the  Park,  distinctive  in  architecture,  and 
with  the  best  metropolitan  standards  of  luxurious  service.  There  are  five  permanent 
camps,  composed  of  comfortable  tent  cottages,  together  with  central  dining  rooms

and  social  halls.    Both  hotels,  and  permanent  camps  are  situated  adjacent  to  the 
principal  places  of  interest  and  are  regulated  by  the  Federal  Government. 

More  than  300  miles  of  improved  roads  traverse  the  Park.  Upon  these  excellent 
government  highways,  powerful  automobiles  operate  on  regular  schedules  from 
West  Yellowstone,  connecting  with  Union  Pacific  trains  and  making  a  complete 
circuit  of  the  chief  scenic  attractions. 

"Taken  in  all  its  phases,  the  climate  of  the  Park  is  as  delightful  and  health- 
giving  as  it  is  possible  to  find,"  writes  General  Chittenden,  the  foremost  authority 
on  Yellowstone.  The  summer  air  of  the  high  plateau  is  cool,  fragrant,  and  invigorat- 
ing. 

What  to  Do 

On  a  brief  trip  to  Yellowstone,  the  visitor  will  probably  be  fully  occupied  with 
observing  and  admiring  the  scenic  wonders  and  the  wild  animals.  But  the  Park  is  a 
place  to  linger  for  a  month  or  a  summer.  It  is  impossible  to  know  it  intimately  on  a 
brief  visit  and  many  return  year  after  year  to  enjoy  its  variety.  For  those  who 
linger,  there  are  several  hundred  miles  of  trails  leading  to  places  of  interest  not 
reached  by  the  automobiles;  these  may  be  traversed  on  foot,  or  on  horses,  which 
may  be  hired  at  reasonable  rates.  The  trail  traveler  will  have  exceptional  opportuni- 
ties to  see  and  photograph  wild  animals.  Yellowstone  is  a  happy  hunting  ground  for 
the  camera  enthusiast;  nowhere  else  can  be  obtained  with  equal  ease  so  many 
unusual  pictures.  There  are  voyages  to  be  taken  on  Yellowstone  Lake,  in  row-

boats  or  motor  boats.    There  are  rugged  mountains  to  be  climbed,  some  of  them, 
as  Grand  Teton,  to  the  south,  requiring  first  rate  mountaineering  skill. 

In  the  beautiful  fairyland  of  Yellowstone  you  may  live  and  travel  in  complete 
comfort.  You  may  rest,  accomplish  your  sightseeing  from  the  cushions  of  an  auto- 
mobile, ride  horseback,  or  follow  the  alluring  trails  on  foot.  You  may  procure  a 
guide  and  camp  equipment  and  explore  the  rarely  visited  regions  where  there  is 
neither  road  nor  trail.  Guides  are  furnished  without  charge  for  short  trips  to  the 
geysers,  the  Grand  Canyon,  and  the  Mammoth  Hot  Springs.  Good  fishing  may  be 
had  in  practically  any  part  of  the  Park,  near  hotels  or  camps.  In  the  evening 
there  are  dances,  impromptu  entertainments,  and  other  forms  of  amusement. 
Swimming  pools  are  maintained  at  Old  Faithful  and  at  Mammoth  Hot  Springs. 

The  Park,  as  a  national  institution,  exists  for  your  enjoyment. 

History 

John  Colter,  an  intrepid  frontiersman  and  a  member  of  the  Lewis  and  Clark 
expedition,  was  the  first  white  man  to  behold  any  part  of  what  is  now  Yellowstone 
Park.  In  1807,  after  being  wounded  in  a  battle  between  Crow  and  Blackfeet 
Indians,  he  journeyed  across  the  Park  from  Jackson  Hole  to  Tower  Fall,  and  carried 
the  first  accounts  to  civilization.  Jim  Bridger,  famous  guide,  and  J.  L.  Meek,  a 
trapper  and  pioneer,  were  there  about  1829.  W.  A.  Ferris,  of  the  American  Fur 
Company,  visited  the  geysers  in  1834  and  wrote  the  first  published  account  of  them. 
In  1863,  Capt.  DeLacy,  searching  for  gold,  explored  part  of  the  region.  Yet,

because  of  the  extraordinary  nature  of  the  phenomena,  early  accounts  were  dis- 
credited, and  the  Yellowstone  remained  practically  unknown  until  the  explorations 
of  Folsom,  Cook,  and  Peterson,  in  1869,  were  disclosed.  The  Washburn-Doane 
expedition  of  1870,  which  included  Langford,  Hedges,  and  Everts,  and  the  scientific 
explorations  of  Dr.  Hayden,  of  the  Geological  Survey,  in  1871-2,  increased  its  fame 
and  led  to  its  establishment  as  a  national  park,  in  1872. 

The  Environs  of  the  Park 

Beyond  the  arbitrary  boundaries  of  the  Park,  particularly  to  the  south,  east, 
and  northeast,  are  rugged  mountain  areas  famous  for  scenic  beauty. 

The  Teton  Range  begins  a  few  miles  outside  the  southern  boundary  and  reaches 
its  highest  sublimity  30  miles  southward,  in  the  spired  group  of  granite  peaks  that 
culminates  in  Grand  Teton,  13,747  feet  in  altitude.  Grand  Teton,  chief  landmark 
of  the  trapper  early  in  the  19th  century,  is  called  by  Gen.  Chittenden  "the  most 
interesting  historic  summit  of  the  Rocky  Mountains."  The  mountains  rise  so 
precipitously  from  the  wooded  shores  of  Jackson  Lake,  their  crests  are  so  sharp  and 
lofty,  and  their  slopes  so  wild  and  broken,  that  they  are  in  many  respects  the  most 
unusual  and  impressive  mountains  in  America.  Resembling  pictured  peaks  in 
books  of  fairy  tales,  they  are  unbelievably  beautiful.  They  spring  suddenly  from 
the  water's  edge  into  the  clouds,  carrying  gleaming  glaciers  upon  their  scarred  and 
riven  flanks. 

The  surrounding  country,  in  Teton  National  Forest  and,  known  as  Jackson 
Hole,  shares  the  wild  grandeur  of  the  mighty  peaks.  There  are  many  excellent 
fishing  streams  and  lakes,  wooded  upland  plains,  and  vast  forested  areas.  The 
region  is  the  foremost  big  game  haunt  in  the  United  States,  noted  especially  for  its 
abundance  of  elk.  Yellowstone  visitors  already  regard  it  as  part  of  the  Park.  At 
Old  -Faithful  Inn  or  Camp,  arrangements  may  be  made  for  automobile  trips  to 
Moran,  where  a  rustic  lodge  provides  accommodations.  A  bill  is  pending  in  Congress 
for  the  annexation  of  the  region  to  Yellowstone  Park. 

Another  scenic  region  of  high  rank  surrounds  the  quaint  little  mining  town  of 
Cooke  City,  Mont.,  just  outside  the  northeast  corner  of  the  Park,  and  in  the  Bear- 
tooth  National  Forest.  Probably  the  chief  scenic  spectacle  in  the  vicinity  is  the 
Grasshopper  Glacier,  an  immense  mass  of  snow  and  ice  far  up  on  the  shoulder  of 
Iceberg  Peak.  Imbedded  in  the  ice,  which  has  cliffs  100  feet  high,  are  millions  of 
grasshoppers,  struck  down  by  some  prehistoric  snowstorm.  The  contiguous  region 
is  one  of  jagged  peaks,  chaotic,  imperfectly  explored  canyons,  and  mountain  lakes 
leaping  with  trout.  Most  notable  of  these  lakes  is  Abundance,  so  named  from  its 
apparently  inexhaustible  supply  of  game  fish.  Trails  lead  from  Cooke  City  into 
the  lofty  peaks,  conspicuous  among  them,  Pilot  and  Index,  remarkable  for  their 
perpendicular,  castellated  crests.  Cooke  City,  38  miles  from  Camp  Roosevelt  and 
reached  by  auto  from  that  place  or  from  Mammoth  Hot  Springs,  has  small  hotels 
and  a  camp  nearby;  special  saddle  trips,  with  guide,  are  provided. 

Wild  Flowers  and  Forests 

Yellowstone  is  a  vast  botanical  garden.  Wild  flowers  in  great  variety  and  pro- 
fusion add  the  final  exquisite  touch  to  the  beauty  of  the  wonderland.  They  grow 
not  only  on  the  low  lands,  but  far  up  the  heights,  often  beside  the  melting  snowdrifts. 
Among  the  characteristic  and  widely  distributed  flowers  that  bloom  during  the 
Park  season  are:  violets,  phlox,  mertensia,  lupine,  larkspur,  monkshood,  geraniums, 
harebells,  avalanche  lilies,  mentzelia,  primroses,  asters,  anemones,  shooting  stars, 
buttercups,  and  wild  roses.  The  favorite  habitat  of  the  columbine  is  on  Mt.  Wash-

burn.  Forget-me-nots  are  frequent;  wild  flax  and  the  Indian  paint-brush  grow 
everywhere.  Many  esteem  the  fringed  gentian  foremost  among  the  floral  beauties 
of  the  Park. 

Five-sixths  of  the  area  of  the  Park  is  forested,  largely  with  coniferous  trees; 
approximately  three-fourths  of  the  forests  consist  of  lodge-pole  pines.  Other  trees 
are  white  pine,  Englemann  spruce,  silver  fir,  cedar,  and  cotton  wood;  the  quaking 
aspen  grows  in  all  parts  of  the  Park,  furnishing  food  for  elk,  deer,  and  beaver. 

Season  and  Climate 

The  Park  season  is  from  June  20th  to  September  15th.  The  first  Yellowstone 
Special  will  leave  Salt  Lake  City  on  June  19th,  and  the  first  automobile  will  leave 
West  Yellowstone  station  on  June  20th.  The  last  date  on  which  automobiles  will 
return  to  West  Yellowstone  after  a  complete  tour  of  the  Park  will  be  September  19th. 

The  season  at  which  the  Park  is  open  to  visitors  is  at  a  time  when  life  in  the 
mountains  is  most  healthful  and  delightful.  The  elevation — 8,000  feet — insures 
cool  nights,  ideal  for  refreshing  sleep.  The  days  are  clear  and  sunshiny,  but  never 
hot  or  oppressive.  The  pure,  bracing  air,  free  from  fog,  carries  the  wholesome  tang 
of  the  pine  forests.  Mean  average  summer  temperatures  range  from  54  degrees  to 
64  degrees,  with  a  maximum  of  88  degrees.  While  Yellowstone  has  never  been 
exploited  for  its  health-restoring  features,  its  pure  waters  and  equable,  bracing 
climate  are  undoubtedly  of  great  benefit.  Those  who  remain  long  enough  to  enjoy 
its  open  air  diversions  cannot  fail  to  perceive  the  invigorating  results  of  the  outing.

The  Park  in  Detail 
The  Geysers 

Among  all  the  wonders  that  Yellowstone  contains,  none  is  so  startling,  weird, 
and  impressive  as  the  geysers.  Drawing  their  energy  from  invisible  underground 
sources,  some  spouting  with  clock-like  regularity,  others,  apparently,  when  they 
feel  like  it,  these  mysterious  hot-water  fountains  fascinate  the  beholder  and  leave 
an  indelible  record  on  the  memory.  In  number,  in  power,  variety,  and  splendor  of 
action,  the  Yellowstone  geysers  are  unrivaled  elsewhere  on  earth. 

The  principal  geysers  are  found  in  three  basins  in  the  west-central  part  of  the 
Park,  while  smaller  groups  exist  to  the  south.  Other  hot  water  phenomena,  ex- 
quisitely tinted  springs  and  terraces,  mud  volcanoes,  and  innumerable  steam  vents, 
are  distributed  throughout  the  Park.  Upper,  Lower,  and  Norris  Basins,  the  chief 
geyser  areas,  are  included  in  the  circuit  automobile  tour  from  West  Yellowstone, 
as  are  two  smaller  intermediate  basins,  Midway  and  Biscuit. 

First  among  the  geysers  of  Yellowstone  is  Old  Faithful,  the  most  celebrated 
geyser  in  the  world.  Combining  power,  volume,  beauty,  and  regularity,  it 
approaches  the  geyser  ideal  and  never  fails  to  delight  the  beholder  by  sending  its 
graceful,  spray-draped  column  skyward  at  intervals  of  from  65  to  80  minutes. 
The  Daisy,  a  smaller,  but  highly  interesting  geyser,  also  plays  with  pleasing  regu- 
larity. Other  geysers  noted  for  the  splendor  of  their  performances  are  the  Giant,

Grand,  Giantess,  Great  Fountain,  and  Beehive.  Some  gush  irregularly,  days  inter- 
vening; some  play  every  few  minutes;  some  spout  and  roar  with  the  intensity  of 
volcanoes,  while  others  play  less  violently,  displaying  a  variety  of  individual  pecu- 
liarities. The  Riverside,  situated  as  its  name  implies,  sends  a  diagonal  jet  above  the 
stream;  the  Castle,  the  Grotto,  and  the  Beehive  are  noted  for  their  picturesque 
cones,  as  also  is  the  Lone  Star,  in  the  forest  about  3^  miles  southeast  of  Old 
Faithful.  The  Excelsior  Geyser,  once  the  greatest  on  earth,  has  ceased  its  activity, 
although  its  immense  crater  rilled  with  boiling  water  remains  a  thrilling  sight. 

The  enchanting  delicacy  of  form  and  color  that  distinguishes  many  of  the  hot 
springs  has  its  highest  manifestation  in  Morning  Glory  and  Turquoise  Springs, 
Prismatic  Lake,  and  Emerald  Pool.  Handkerchief  Pool  sucks  your  handkerchief 
down  its  throat  and  returns  it  thoroughly  washed.  Many  of  the  geyser  pools,  such 
as  Fountain  and  Oblong,  are  highly  beautiful  in  repose.

Grand  Canyon  and  Great  Falls  of  the  Yellowstone 

In  sheer,  compelling  beauty,  no  single  spectacle  in  the  Park  approaches  the 
Grand  Canyon  of  the  Yellowstone  with  the  Great  Falls  at  its  head.  It  is  in  fact,  as 
declared  by  Gen.  Chittenden,  "acknowledged  by  all  beholders  to  stand  without 
parallel  among  the  natural  wonders  of  the  globe."  Color,  glowing  color  spread 
over  its  castellated  walls  with  measureless  prodigality  and  infinite  variety  is  its 
most  striking  feature. 

The  great  prismatic  gorge  is  1,200  feet  deep,  2,000  feet  wide  at  the  top,  and  200 
feet  wide  at  the  bottom.  Its  walls  are  fissured,  slashed,  etched,  and  carved  into 
thousands  of  architectural  forms  which  rise  here  and  there  in  dizzy  groups  of  gothic 
spires  where  eagles  make  their  nests.  Over  these  slopes  are  gorgeous  patterns  of 
color — all  the  tones  of  orange  and  yellow,  vivid  and  pale;  rich  crimson  down  the 
scale  to  most  delicate  pink;  blacks,  grays,  buffs,  pearly  tints,  and  pure  white.

YELLOWSTONE  NATIONAL  PARK 


Grand  Canyon  and  Great  Falls  of  the  Yellowstone 

Far  below,  a  slender,  winding  ribbon  of  green  bordered  with  white  lace,  the  river 
flows.  Upon  the  plateau  dense  forests  furnish  long  borders  of  dark  green  and  the 
vault  of  the  sky  contributes  its  varying  blue. 

The  finest  aspects  of  the  scene  cannot  omit  the  Great  Falls  of  the  Yellowstone. 
There,  the  river  becomes  perpendicular  and  leaps  with  the  roar  of  a  thousand 
dynamos  308  feet  to  the  floor  of  the  kaleidoscopic  canyon,  losing  itself  in  a  whirling 
nebula  of  spray  which  sends  graceful  streamers  of  mist  incessantly  upward.  A 
stairway  leads  to  the  crest  of  the  Great  Falls  and  a  trail  descends  to  its  foot.  Less 
than  half  a  mile  upstream  is  the  Upper  Fall,  109  feet  high,  itself  impressively 
wonderful.  The  symmetrical  beauty  of  both  these  falls  is  heightened  by  their 
matchless  surroundings.  Seen  by  moonlight,  they  acquire  a  softened  and  mysterious 
charm  that  is  not  to  be  described. 

Talented  men  have  left  descriptions  of  the  scene,  graphic  but  inadequate  word 
pictures;  usually,  these  end  as  did  that  of  Folsom,  who  beheld  the  canyon  in  1869: 
"Language  is  entirely  inadequate  to  convey  a  just  conception  of  the  awful  grandeur 
and  sublimity  of  this  most  beautiful  of  nature's  handiwork." 

Rudyard  Kipling  wrote:  "Without  warning  or  preparation,  I  looked,  into  a 
gulf  1,700  feet  deep,  with  eagles  and  fishhawks  circling  far  below.  And  the  sides  of 
that  gulf  were  one  wild  welter  of  color — crimson,  emerald,  cobalt,  ochre,  amber, 
honey  splashed  with  port  wine,  snow-white,  vermilion,  lemon,  and  silver  grey  in 
wide  washes.  So  far  below  that  no  sound  of  strife  could  reach  us,  the  Yellowstone 
River  ran,  a  finger-wide  strip  of  jade  green.  The  sun-light  took  those  wondrous 
walls  and  gave  fresh  hues  to  those  that  nature  had  already  laid  there."

A  View  from  Mt.  Washburn 


Of  the  many  view  points  along  the  Canyon  rim,  perhaps  the  most  celebrated 
are  Artist  and  Inspiration  Points.  The  view  from  the  latter  should  not  be  missed 
by  any  visitor.  Other  view  points,  each  disclosing  special  features  and  enchanting 
vistas  are  Point  Lookout,  Red  Rock,  Grand  View,  and  the  Castle  Ruins,  all  of 
them  along  the  road  leading  to  Inspiration  Point. 

Mt.  Washburn  and  the  Tower  Falls  Region 

Northward  from  the  Grand  Canyon,  the  automobile  road  leads,  by  way  of 
Dunraven  Pass  over  the  shoulder  of  Mt.  Washburn,  an  extinct  volcano,  10,388  feet 
high.  By  special  arrangement  and  payment  of  $2.00  passengers  holding  Park  Tour 
tickets  will  be  carried  to  the  very  summit  of  the  mountain.  Upon  the  slopes  of 
this  great  peak  are  lovely  gardens  of  wild  flowers,  mile  upon  mile  in  extent,  and  of 
richest  variety.  From  Mt.  Washburn's  crest  the  traveler  is  impressively  re- 
minded that  he  is  in  the  heart  of  the  Rocky  Mountains,  for  noble  panoramas  of 
lofty  mountains  lie  south,  east,  and  north,  including  the  matchless  Tetons,  the  wild 
and  rugged  Absarokas,  the  wintry  Snowy  Range,  and  the  stately  Gallatins,  with 
vast  intermediate  areas  of  forest  rolling  away  in  every  direction. 

Tower  Fall,  a  beautiful  column  of  water,  132  feet  high  and  surrounded  by 
bizarre  pinnacles  of  volcanic  rock,  is  near  the  lower  end  of  the  Grand  Canyon  of  the 
Yellowstone;  remarkable  palisades  of  columnar  basalt  overlook  the  river  and  in  one 
spot  actually  project  across  the  road,  while  slender  spires  rise  from  the  depths  of 
the  gorge.  Camp  Roosevelt,  in  the  vicinity,  is  the  starting  point  for  the  Fossil 
Forests  and  the  glaciers  in  Beartooth  National  Forest,  near  Cooke  City.

Overhanging  Cliff 
Petrified  Tree  in  Fossil  Forest 


Fossil  Forests 

The  great  fossil  forests  of  the  Yellowstone  truly  deserve  their  name  because, 
instead  of  scattered  groups  of  fallen  logs  far  removed  from  their  place  of  growth, 
the  petrified  trunks  remain  standing  where  they  first  took  root.  The  forests  occupy 
extensive  areas  in  the  northeastern  part  of  the  Park,  on  the  ridges  south  and  west 
of  Lamar  River.  The  most  accessible  stands  on  Specimen  Ridge  at  elevations 
between  7,000  and  7,500  feet,  about  6  miles  southeast  of  Camp  Roosevelt,  and  may 
be  reached  on  horseback.  There  are  a  few  petrified  trees  about  1%  miles  west  of 
the  camp.  On  the  northeastern  slope  of  Amethyst  Mountain,  about  10  miles  due 
southeast  of  Camp  Roosevelt,  the  forests  stand  superimposed  through  2,000  feet  of 
strata,  where  they  were  successively  imprisoned  by  flows  of  volcanic  material,  and 
the  lower  slopes  are  covered  with  fragments  displaying  beautiful  crystals  of  agate, 
carnelian,  jasper,  chrysoprase,  and  amethyst. 

Among  the  petrified  trees  of  the  Yellowstone  are  more  varieties  than  are  found 
in  any  other  region;  they  include  redwoods,  pines,  laurels,  bays,  buckthorns,  syca- 
mores, and  oaks.  Some  of  the  trunks  rise  40  feet  above  ground  and  one  redwood 
discovered  measures  26J^  feet  in  circumference.  The  wood  structure  is  perfectly 
preserved,  although  its  age  is  estimated  at  approximately  a  million  years.

Mammoth  Hot  Springs 

At  Mammoth  Hot  Springs,  hot  waters  heavily  laden  with  carbonate  of  lime 
from  subterranean  sources  have  built  up  a  number  of  terraced  eminences  exquisitely 
carved  and  embossed.  Algae  living  in  the  cascades  that  pour  down  their  slopes 
have  painted  the  fretted  basins  and  sculptured  cornices  with  delicate  tones  of 
scarlet,  orange,  pink,  yellow,  and  blue,  while,  where  the  waters  have  temporarily 
ceased  flowing,  the  fluted  columns  and  beaded  traceries  are  snow-white.  With  the 
water  pouring  over  their  elaborate  incrustations,  the  terraces  glow  with  a  matchless 
harmony  of  color  and  seem  like  living  organisms.  In  fact,  the  terraces  do  grow  and 
change,  sometimes  building  up  their  dainty  architecture  so  rapidly  that  trees 
are  engulfed. 

The  beauty  of  the  individual  terraces  often  varies  from  year  to  year  with  the 
flow  of  hot  water,  and  this  adds  changing  variety  to  the  charm  of  the  entire  group. 
Pulpit,  Jupiter,  Cleopatra,  Angel,  and  Hymen  terraces,  Orange  Spring,  the  White 
Elephant,  and  the  Devil's  Kitchen  are  perhaps  the  most  striking  features.  Liberty 
Cap,  the  hardened  cone  of  an  extinct  hot  spring,  now  stands  like  a  monument,  40 
feet  above  the  formation. 

The  steaming,  tinted  terraces,  with  the  nearby  administration  buildings,  are 
surrounded  by  mountains — the  long,  palisaded  battlements  of  Mt.  Everts,  to  the 
east;  the  rounded  dome  of  Bunsen  Peak,  to  the  south;  the  peaks  of  the  Gallatin 
Range  in  the  west;  and  the  rugged  masses  of  the  Snowy  Range  in  the  north.  Side 
trips  may  be  made  to  Bunsen  Peak,  Osprey  Falls,  Sepulchre  Mountain,  Boiling 
River,  and  to  the  herd  of  buffalo  in  a  corral  on  the  road  to  Bunsen  Peak.

YELLOWSTONE  NATIONAL  PARK 


Sanctuary  for  Wild  Life 

The  success  of  this  largest  of  natural  zoological  Gardens  is  established  by  the 
mute  testimony  of  the  wild  animals  themselves.  Because  of  the  protection  given 
them,  they  have  increased  and  multiplied,  and  they  have  lost  much  of  their  fear  of 
man.  All  of  them  are  harmless  unless  interfered  with  or  annoyed.  Hunting  them 
with  the  camera  is  encouraged,  but  no  other  kind  is  permitted.  Automobile 
travelers  along  the  main  highway  during  the  season  may  not  always  see  even  the 
most  common  species;  the  patient  traveler  on  the  nearby  trails,  however,  may  often 
see  bear,  elk,  deer,  and  antelope;  and  by  walking  or  riding  horseback  to  their  known 
retreats,  he  may  see  moose,  mountain  sheep,  and  buffalo. 

Bears  are  perhaps  first  in  interest.  Black  and  cinnamon  bears  are  numerous 
and  may  usually  be  seen  during  the  early  morning  or  evening  feeding  upon  the 
kitchen  scraps  given  them  by  the  hotels  and  camps.  Your  vacation  time  is  theirs 
also,  for  then  they  do  not  have  to  search  for  food.  They  are  playful,  sometimes 
friendly,  and  will  boldly  steal  anything  edible.  Occasionally,  a  grizzly  joins  the 
feast  and  is  treated  with  marked  respect.  A  mother  bear  with  young  cubs  is  always 
a  charming  sight.  It  is  inadvisable  to  approach  the  bears  too  closely,  no  matter 
how  good  humored  they  may  seem. 

There  are  two  herds  of  buffalo  in  the  Park.  One,  numbering  more  than  400, 
ranges  up  the  Lamar  River  and  in  the  valley  of  Calfee  Creek.  This  herd  may 
readily  be  found  by  visitors  who  make  a  special  trip  to  the  vicinity.  During  the 
summer,  a  few  buffalo  are  kept  in  a  corral  near  Mammoth  Hot  Springs  for  the 
observance  of  tourists.  The  unrestrained  herd,  numbering  about  70,  roams  be- 
tween Yellowstone  Lake  and  the  Lamar  River. 

The  number  of  elk  in  the  Park  is  estimated  to  be  30,000;  they  spend  the 
spring  and  summer  above  the  timber-line  in  the  mountains  and  frequently  roam 
outside  its  boundaries.  Special  trips  to  the  north  end  of  Yellowstone  Lake  and  to 
Specimen  Ridge  often  result  in  seeing  a  number  of  them.  There  are  more  than  a 
thousand  moose,  principally  in  the  southern  parts.  Antelope  are  common  in  the 
open  valleys  of  the  Yellowstone,  Gardiner,  and  Lamar  Rivers.  Mountain  sheep 
live  in  the  northern  ranges  of  the  Park,  and  mule  deer  may  be  seen  in  all  its  parts. 
Beavers  are  fairly  abundant  along  most  of  the  streams  and  their  dams  and  houses 
are  always  sources  of  interest.  Among  other  smaller  animals  are  foxes,  otters, 
badgers,  minks,  martens,  wolverines,  porcupines,  woodchucks,  and  several  vari- 
eties of  chipmunk,  squirrel,  and  rabbit. 

Two  hundred  species  of  birds  are  found  in  the  Park.  Among  them  are  eagles, 
hawks,  falcons,  owls,  kingfishers,  gulls,  pelicans,  ducks,  geese,  swans,  herons,  cranes, 
snipes,  plovers,  grouse,  woodpeckers,  blackbirds,  larks,  jays,  magpies,  orioles, 
finches,  swallows,  waxwings,  warblers,  wrens,  thrushes,  and  bluebirds. 

Lively  Fishing  Waters 

The  native  game  fishes  of  Yellowstone,  which  is  indeed  a  fisherman's  paradise, 
are  grayling  and  cutthroat  trout,  while  the  whitefish,  which  also  is  a  native,  may 
be  so  classed.  The  game  fishes  introduced  by  the  government  are  rainbow,  Loch 
Leven,  European  brown  or  Von  Behr,  Eastern  brook,  and  lake  trout.  These 
species  are  replenished  through  annual  plantings  by  the  Bureau  of  Fisheries. 

Nearly  all  of  the  lakes  and  streams  of  the  Park,  from  those  within  easy  distance 
of  hotels  and  camps  to  the  most  remote,  contain  one  or  more  species  of  trout  and 
a  few  contain  whitefish  and  grayling.  Naturally  the  more  distant  waters  offer  the 
readiest  sport.  Good  fishing  may  be  had  in  Yellowstone  Lake  and  River,  and  the 
Madison,  Gibbon,  and  Firehole  Rivers,  which  are  reached  by  the  main  highways.

But  in  the  less  visited  lakes  and  streams,  the  sport  attains  a  pinnacle  of  excellence. 
A  government  booklet,  revised  each  season  gives  detailed  accounts  of  the  fishing  in 
the  principal  lakes  and  streams. 

Those  who  come  unprepared  may  rent  fishing  equipment  at  any  of  the  hotels  or 
camps,  or  may  purchase  it  at  the  general  stores.  No  license  is  required. 

Excursions  on  Yellowstone  Lake 

Few  lakes  on  earth  surpass  Yellowstone  Lake  both  in  area  and  elevation.  Its 
surface  covers  approximately  139  square  miles  and  it  is  nearly  a  mile  and  one  half 
above  the  level  of  the  sea.  The  jagged,  snowy  Absarokas  stand  in  the  east;  to  the 
south,  Mt.  Sheridan,  an  extinct  volcano.  There  are  brilliant  "paint-pots,"  hot 
springs,  and  one  active  geyser  on  the  West  Thumb  shore;  the  famous  fishing  cone 
also  stands  there.  Motor  and  row  boats  may  be  engaged  from  the  boat  company 
near  Lake  Hotel  and  Camp  at  reasonable  rates  authorized  by  the  Government, 
and  many  interesting  trips  to  the  distant  shores  may  be  made. 

Hotels  and  Permanent  Camps 

Visitors  may  stop  at  the  hotels  or  the  permanent  camps,  whose  standards  are 
established  and  supervised  by  the  Federal  Government.  Both  hotels  and  camps 
are  situated  in  the  vicinity  of  the  chief  attractions.  The  hotels  are  individual  in 
architecture,  spacious,  and  completely  equipped  with  modern  conveniences.  The 
permanent  camps  are  little  villages  of  comfortably  furnished  tent-cottages,  with 
central  dining  and  social  halls. 

Old  Faithful  Inn,  in  Upper  Geyser  Basin,  is  a  great  hotel  of  native  logs  and 
stone,  noted  for  its  original  architectural  beauty  and  its  pleasing  harmony  with  its 
surroundings.  Pilasters,  braces,  and  balustrades  of  natural  branches  from  the 
neighboring  forests  produce  a  delightful  blend  of  art  and  rusticity.  In  the  wide  and 
lofty  lobby,  with  its  sepia  tones  of  bark,  the  guest  may  easily  fancy  himself  in  the 
depths  of  the  forest.  In  the  massive  fireplace  an  ox  might  be  roasted  whole.  At 
night  a  searchlight  plays  from  the  roof  on  the  ghostly  column  of  Old  Faithful 
Geyser  and  on  the  bears  feeding  in  the  woods. 

Old  Faithful  Camp,  typical  of  the  permanent  camps  in  Yellowstone,  is  much 
more  than  a  camp;  it  is  a  village  of  cozy  bungalows,  floored  and  wainscoted  with 
wood  to  a  height  of  four  feet,  walled  with  canvas,  completely  screened,  and  roofed 
with  asbestos.  The  bungalows,  which  are  electric-lighted  and  heated  by  wood- 
burning  stoves,  are  of  one,  two,  and  four-room  capacity.  There  are  social  assem- 
bly halls,  and  dining  halls  where  wholesome  food  is  served  in  family  style. 

Both  hotel  and  camp  in  Upper  Geyser  Basin  are  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of 
Old  Faithful,  with  other  great  geysers  but  short  distances  away. 

At  the  northern  end  of  Yellowstone  Lake  are  Lake  Hotel  and  Camp. 

Grand  Canyon  Hotel,  near  the  Grand  Canyon  and  Great  Falls,  is  one  of  the 
finest  of  resort  hotels.  Handsome  in  design,  impressive  in  size,  its  appointments 
and  service  are  of  exceptionally  high  standard.  A  feature  of  the  hostelry  is  the 
Lounge,  a  beautiful  social  chamber,  200  feet  long,  100  feet  wide,  and  enclosed  by 
an  unbroken  series  of  windows.  Canyon  Camp  is  on  the  south  rim  of  Grand  Can- 
yon, immediately  east  of  the  Great  Falls. 

Camp  Roosevelt,  near  Tower  Fall,  is  in  a  region  where  exceptional  oppor- 
tunities for  fishing  and  observing  wild  life  may  be  had.  It  is  the  starting  point 
for  the  fossil  forests,  the  buffalo  ranch,  and  the  Grasshopper  Glacier. 

At  Mammoth  Hot  Springs  both  hotel  and  camp  are  adjacent  to  the  Terraces, 
and  other  scenic  features  of  the  locality.

Both  hotels  and  camps  furnish  free  guide  service  to  the  chief  phenomena  in  the 
immediate  vicinity.  Dances  and  other  amusements  are  frequently  provided  in  the 
evening.  Outdoor  diversions  are  featured  at  the  camps,  where  a  blazing  camp 
fire  is  followed  by  impromptu  entertainments.  Books,  candy,  postage  stamps, 
camera  films,  souvenirs,  etc..  may  be  purchased.  Bathing  pools  are  located  at 
Mammoth  Hot  Springs  and  Upper  Geyser  Basin.  Horses  and  guides  may  be  hired. 


Automobile  Transportation 

The  Yellowstone  Park  Transportation  Company,  under  contract  from  and 
supervised  by  the  Federal  Government,  operates  automobiles  on  regular  schedules 
from  West  Yellowstone,  Montana  (connecting  with  the  Union  Pacific  System's 
"Yellowstone  Special")  and  other  entrances  to  all  hotels  and  camps  and  to  the 
principal  scenic  points  in  the  Park. 

The  transportation  equipment  consists  of  powerful  eleven-passenger  auto*- 
mobiles,  with  removable  tops,  and  designed  especially  for  Yellowstone  Park  service. 
Driven  by  experienced  chauffeurs,  they  run  along  the  smooth  roads  in  accordance 
with  convenient  time  tables;  stop-overs  may  be  had  at  any  point  where  accommoda- 
tions are  obtainable. 

Six-passenger  touring  cars  for  special  trips  may  be  engaged  by  personal  arrange- 
ment with  the  transportation  company  at  $6.00  an  hour.  All  transportation 
charges  are  fixed  by  the  Government.

Trails  and  Side  Trips 

Delightful  and  comprehensive  as  is  the  regular  automobile  trip  through  the 
\ellowstone  the  visitor  who  has  enjoyed  it  need  not  suppose  he  has  seen  all  that 
the  3,348  square  miles  of  the  Park  have  to  offer.  Other  motor  trips  of  absorbing 
interest  may  be  made  and  there  are  several  hundred  miles  of  trails  leading  to  lakes 
and  streams  populous  with  hungry  fish;  to  the  secluded  haunt  of  buffalo,  moose, 
and  elk;  to  picturesque  geological  formations,  strange  old  mining  villages,  and 
little  known  peaks  and  glaciers.  For  the  more  ambitious  trail  trips,  guides  are 
desirable.  Those,  however,  who  wish  to  dispense  with  the  services  of  a  guide  should 
consult  the  Superintendent's  office  or  the  nearest  Park  Ranger  before  starting,  and 
should  procure  and  study  an  accurate  map. 

Saddle  and  pack  horses  may  be  hired  at  West  Yellowstone  and  at  hotels  and 
camps  at  Upper  Geyser  Basin,  Grand  Canyon,  Mammoth  Hot  Springs,  and  at 
Camp  Roosevelt;  the  rate  is  $3.50  a  day;  or,  31-00  for  the  first  hour  and  50  cents 
for  each  subsequent  hour.  Mounted  guides  may  be  engaged  for  $5.00  a  day. 

The  Way  to  Yellowstone  Park — Union  Pacific 

YELLOWSTONE  NATIONAL  PARK  is,  of  course,  unique  among  the  won- 
ders of  the  world,  but  to  go  there  via  the  Union  Pacific  adds  much  to  its  enjoyment. 
The  scenes  along  the  Union  Pacific  are  varied — beautiful,  sublime,  often  highly 
thrilling,  and  always  full  of  interest.  The  train  accommodations  offer  all  that  can 
be  desired  for  personal  comfort,  and  the  roadway  is  a  masterpiece  of  engineering.

Obsidian  Cliff 
Morning-Glory  Spring 


Ninety-two  per  cent  of  the  road  between  Omaha  and  Ogden  is  double  track,  and 
all  of  it  is  ballasted  to  extraordinary  smoothness  with  dustless  Sherman  gravel  and 
protected  by  automatic  safety  signals;  handsome  new  dining  cars  provide  excellent 
meals  a  la  carte  at  reasonable  cost. 

The  Union  Pacific  operates  fast  through  trains  from  Chicago,  via  Omaha,  to 
Ogden  and  Salt  Lake  City  and  from  St.  Louis,  via  Kansas  City  and  Denver.  Connec- 
tions are  made  at  Ogden  or  Salt  Lake  City  with  the  noted  "Yellowstone  Special" 
operated  during  the  season  specifically  for  travelers  to  Yellowstone  National  Park. 
This  train,  with  observation  and  standard  sleeping  cars,  leaves  Salt  Lake  City  and 
Ogden  every  evening  and  reaches  West  Yellowstone,  Mont.,  in  time  for  breakfast 
next  morning.  (According  to  Government  statistics  West  Yellowstone  is  the 
gateway  through  which  most  visitors  enter  the  Park  each  year.)  Big,  high-powered 
automobiles  meet  each  "Yellowstone  Special"  and  run  quickly  to  Old  Faithful  Inn 
and  Camp,  in  the  greatest  of  the  Geyser  Basins. 

Denver  may  be  visited  without  additional  rail  transportation  cost.  Denver  is 
the  gateway  to  scores  of  picturesque  resort  regions  in  the  Colorado  Rockies,  includ- 
ing Rocky  Mountain  National  (Estes)  Park  and  the  Colorado  National  Forests, 
all  of  which  may  easily  be  combined  with  the  Yellowstone  Park  tour. 

Through  Wyoming  and  over  the  Continental  Divide  there  is  a  continual  suc- 
cession of  impressive  panoramas.  In  Echo  and  Weber  Canyons,  through  which 
the  Union  Pacific  crosses  the  Wasatch  Mountains,  the  deep  winding  gorges  lie 
4,000  feet  below  the  enclosing  peaks.

Free  side  trip  Ogden  to  Salt  Lake  City  and  return,  with  stop-over  will  be 
granted  on  round  trip  tickets  to  Yellowstone  Park  reading  Union  Pacific  System 
from  Cheyenne,  Denver  or  points  east  or  south  thereof,  also  on  Trans-Continental 
tickets  via  Union  Pacific  between  Cheyenne,  Denver  or  points  east  or  south  thereof 
and  points  beyond  Pocatello,  Ogden,  or  Salt  Lake  City,  on  which  side  trip,  Ogden 
to  West  Yellowstone,  is  obtained.  Side  trip  tickets  may  be  obtained  from  Union 
Pacific  ticket  agents  at  Ogden  or  West  Yellowstone  or  from  conductors  on  trains 
into  Ogden. 

Salt  Lake  City  is  a  city  of  marked  charm  and  individuality,  at  the  base  of 
the  Wasatch  Mountains;  the  chief  features  of  interest  are  the  Mormon  Temple 
and  the  Tabernacle  (free  recitals  on  the  superb  organ  are  given  daily  except 
Sunday),  the  Deseret  Museum,  and  Great  Salt  Lake.  No  one  should  miss  bathing 
in  the  unbelievably  buoyant  waters  of  the  lake  at  Saltair  Beach,  reached  by  fast 
electric  cars.  A  few  miles  from  Ogden  is  Ogden  Canyon,  a  deep,  precipitous  and 
romantic  gorge  connected  with  the  city  by  electric  cars.

During  the  Park  season,  round-trip  excursion 
tickets  at  reduced  fares  are  sold  at  practically  all

Yellowstone,  Mont.,  as  a  destination.  Such 
tickets  reading  via  Union  Pacific  from  eastern 
cities  will,  upon  request,  be  honored  by  way  of 
Denver  without  extra  charge,  thus  affording  an 
opportunity  to  visit  Rocky  Mountain  National

in  connection  with  through  railroad  tickets,  it  is 
not  intended  to  limit  the  visit  to  that  short  period; 
stop-overs  may  be  arranged  at  any  hotel  or  camp 
by  payment  of  the  authorized  daily  or  weekly 
rates.  Stay  as  long  as  you  like.

What  to  Wear 

Warm  clothing  should  be  worn,  and  one  should 
be  prepared  for  the  sudden  changes  of  temperature 
common  at  an  altitude  of  7,500  feet.  Men  should 
have  medium  weight  overcoats,  jackets,  or 
sweaters.  Riding  breeches  and  puttees  have  be- 
come popular  with  both  men  and  women,  and  are 
very  sensible  garments  for  those  energetic  persons 
who  like  to  climb,  ride,  and  tramp.  Linen  dusters 
are  essential;  they  may  be  purchased  in  the  Park. 
Stout  shoes  are  desirable  as  they  are  best  suited 
for  walking  about  the  geysers  and  terraces,  and 
for  mountain  use.  Tinted  glasses  and  serviceable 
gloves  should  be  a  part  of  the  traveler's  outfit, 
and  a  pair  of  field  or  opera  glasses  will  be  found 
useful. 

Women  Tourists 

Fully  60  per  cent  of  the  Park  visitors  are  women 
and  many  of  them  travel  unescorted.  There  are 
competent  women  attendants  at  the  hotels  and 
camps  whose  special  duty  is  to  look  after  the 
welfare  of  women  and  contribute  to  their  comfort 
and  enjoyment. 


Baggage 


The  Yellowstone  Park  Transportation  Company 
will  carry  free,  not  to  exceed  twenty-five  pounds  of 
hand  baggage,  for  each  passenger.  Trunks  cannot 
be  carried  in  the  automobiles.  Tourists  contem- 
plating prolonged  trips  through  the  Park  can 
arrange  with  representatives  of  the  Transportation 
Company  at  any  of  the  gateways  for  the  trans- 
portation of  trunks. 

Storage  charges  for  baggage  will  be  waived  by 
the  Union  Pacific  System  at  West  Yellowstone 
Station,  Pocatello,  Idaho  Falls,  Ogden,  Salt  Lake 
City,  for  actual  length  of  time  consumed  by 
passengers  in  making  Park  trip.  Baggage  may  be 
checked  to  West  Yellowstone  and  passengers 
entering  the  Park  via  one  station  and  leaving  via 
another  station  will  find  certain  regulations  for 


free  checking  of  baggage  to  station  whence  they 
leave  the  Park. 

Mail  and  Telegrams 

Mail  and  telegrams  should  be  addressed  to  the 
gateway  at  which  the  addressee  will  leave  the 
Park,  viz:  At  West  Yellowstone  station,  Mont., 
or  Gardiner,  Mont.,  in  care  of  the  Yellowstone 
Hotel  Co.,  or  Yellowstone  Camps  Co.  (which  ever 
patronized);  at  Cody,  Wyo.,  in  care  of  Yellowstone 
Park  Transportation  Company. 

Bring  Your  Camera 

Nowhere  will  you  find  greater  opportunities 
for  effective  use  of  your  camera  than  in  Yellow- 
stone. Hunting  with  gun  is  prohibited,  but  with 
the  camera  it  is  encouraged  and  the  field  is  un- 
limited. Photographic  supplies  can  be  obtained 
at  hotels  and  camps. 

Medical  Facilities 

A  resident  physician  is  stationed  at  Mammoth 
Hot  Springs,  and  each  hotel  and  camp  has  a 
trained  nurse  and  a  dispensary. 

Bath  Houses 

Natural  hot-water  bathing  pools  are  maintained 
at  Upper  Geyser  Basin  and  Mammoth  Hot 
Springs.  Rates,  50  cents  in  large  pool;  31-00  in 
private  pool. 

Park  Administration 

Yellowstone  National  Park  is  under  the  juris- 
diction of  the  Director,  National  Park  Service, 
Department  of  the  Interior,  Washington,  D.  C. 
The  Park  Superintendent  is  located  at  Mammoth 
Hot  Springs. 

Personally  Conducted  Saddle  and 
Pack  Trips  Off  the  Beaten  Paths 

A  most  enjoyable  way  of  seeing  Yellowstone 
National  Park  is  to  join  an  all-expense  horseback 
camping  party  conducted  by  experienced  guides 
authorized  by  the  Government  to  escort  such 
excursions.  The  names  and  addresses  of  the 
licensees  and  other  information  concerning  these 
"Roughing-it-in-comfort"  trips  may  be  obtained 
from  National  Park  Service,  Washington,  D.  C., 
the  Superintendent  of  the  Park,  or  from  any  rail- 
road representative  listed  on  page  31.
